Proud to share that we’ve successfully negotiated our first collective agreement during my tenure as Executive Director. I’m incredibly proud of the strong relationship we’ve developed with staff who are unionized with UFCW 1006A. It’s no secret that non-profits often have a reputation for challenging work environments, but that narrative doesn’t have to be the norm. Non-profits can lead the way in promoting decent work, work-life balance, benefits and fulfilling career opportunities. https://lnkd.in/g4MQqFGV
